A wide variety of vehicles are used for
transportation on Indonesia's roads.Busservices are available in most areas connected to
the road network. Between major cities, especially on Sumatra, Java, and Bali,
services are frequent and direct; many services are available with no stops
until the final destination. In more remote areas, and between smaller towns,
most services are provided withminibusesorminivans. Buses and vans
are also the primary form of transportation within cities. Often, these are
operated asshare taxis, running
semi-fixed routes.

transportation for hire available as well such astaxis. There are
usually also bus services of various kinds such as theKopajabuses and the more sophisticatedTransjakartabus rapid transitsystem in Jakarta.

of various kinds.Cycle rickshawsin Indonesia, are
a regular sight on city roads and provide inexpensive transportation. They have
been blamed for causingtraffic congestionand, consequently,
banned from most parts of centralJakarta.Horse-drawn carts are found in some cities and towns.

Due to the increasing purchasing power of
Indonesians, privatecarsare becoming more common especially in major
cities. However the growth of the number of cars increasingly outpaces the
construction of new roads, resulting in frequently crippling traffic jams in
large parts in major cities especially in Jakarta, which often also happen on
highways. Jakarta also has one of the worst traffic jams in the world.

Indonesia's main highways. The other one isAH25in Sumatra.
